Guys, I just got bit by a similar bug at runtime (rather than at
compile time). Except in my case, the desired library lives in
/usr/local/lib/dbd/. I'm running on Gentoo, so your mileage may vary.

Rather than copying the libraries around, you should either be able to:

1) Add /usr/lib/dbd/ to /etc/ld.so.conf and run "ldconfig" to enable
the libraries to be found
 or
2) Modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
/usr/lib/dbd/  (I set it in the opensrf users ~/.bashrc file).

100 karma bonus points to Bill Erickson for having the patience to
work through this issue with me.

Good luck.
